Union Pacific Big

Famous quotes containing the words union, pacific and/or big:

    Without the power of the Industrial Union behind it, Democracy can only enter the State as the victim enters the gullet of the Serpent.
    James Connolly (1870–1916)

    The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Eschew the monumental. Shun the Epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
